Your formula is a just a low-speed approximation of the actual formula for kinetic energy, and it is not accurate at relativistic speeds. In the actual relativistic formula, the amount of energy increases towards infinity as the mass approaches the speed of light.
sounds suspiciously like people in the government doing science work and that's verboten. turn those nerds into ICE deputies.
"Sir, we need to know how fast the earth spins so we can aim our missiles."
Very well then. Carry on, ensign.
Not sure off the top of my head, but I'm pretty certain that it has something to do with Planck units.
It wasn't that long ago that people were making posts on this site confidently claiming that "Maybe machines can beat humans at chess, but they will never be able to beat the best human players at go!"
More importantly, how will they be able to spot the trojans in the code that are part of the AI's plan to eliminate humans and take over the world?
Your body contains about a kilogram of phosphorus. Your bones, teeth, and DNA are made of phosphorus.
And still, White Phosphorus is deadly in doses of less than 1 ppm. Enumerating elements is completely meaningless when talking about toxicity. What matters is the substance which contains the elements. And two chemically closely related substances can be harmless and absolutely toxic. Botulinum toxin, often called Botox for short, is deadly in doses above 2 ppt (or about 150 nanograms for a grown adult), and all it contains are the very same amino acids, which make up about 15% of your body weight.
Copper is necessary for human life.
Same silly argument.
Luckily, posphorus is quite reactive (that's why it was used as an agent in matchsticks), oxidizes fast, and will form phosphoric acid when exposed to air, which indeed is not toxic. It is similar for copper, albeit some copper oxides are themselves toxic.
Germany, which is known for being well organized, had a similar catastrophic flooding in 2021 (184 dead) in the Ahr Valley. Also here, the Weather Service had warned about heavy rainfall and possible catastrophic flooding, but it did not register with the people responsible for civil protection.
That's a real problem with once-in-a-century events. People just can't imagine the possible damage, and are completely unprepared or even consider preparations as wasteful and an obstacle to business, development or personal freedom.
The only place with a serious water issue is California
Thanks for making it clear that you're a fucking ignoramus and that everything you say can safely be ignored.
It sure is a pity that there's not multiple types of evidence from biological and geological data that corroborates and extends thermometer readings.
Oh wait, there is.
Let me save you the effort of your predictable reply: "I don't believe any of it. It's all bullshitt!!!!!!! Naah naah!!!"
Your program is sick! Shoot it and put it out of its memory.
